2024 Top 5 Photos of the Year
It’s that time of the year again! Unlike 2023, when I had to include a Squidward photo to make up the numbers 🤣 (see 2023 Top 5 Photos of the Year), it was a bit harder (in other ways) this time around to choose only 5 photos from the 10+ favorite photos I had shot …
Photo of the Month (November 2024)
Photographed on 20 November 2024 at Shoushan LOVE Lookout (Kaohsiung, Taiwan). EXIF: 35mm, f/5.6, 30 secs, ISO 100. “Photo of the Month” for November comes from my family’s first trip to Kaohsiung, Taiwan. To be honest, this isn’t a strong image, but since it was photographed during the trip, I’m sharing it for memory’s sake. …
Photo of the Month (October 2024)
Photographed on 28 October 2024 at Bayfront Avenue (Singapore). EXIF: 18mm, f/11, 160 secs, ISO 100. “Photo of the Month” for October is another Singapore skyline, but with a slightly different take this time by including the Louis Vuitton Island Store in the frame. This wasn’t my planned shot, though. The surface of the water …
Achieving Sharp Long Exposures: Try L-Bracket with Tripod for Your Vertical Shots
When I started photographing cityscapes with a few minutes of long exposure, I took almost all shots horizontally (in landscape orientation), but this has changed in recent years, and I now shoot most of my cityscapes vertically (in portrait orientation). At first, I didn’t quite like my camera awkwardly hanging on the side, as seen …

So, whether you’re a photography enthusiast …
Photo of the Month (September 2024)
Photographed on September 3, 2024, at JR Tower Observatory T38 (Sapporo, Japan). EXIF: 30mm, f/8, 30 secs, ISO 100. “Photo of the Month” for September comes from our trip to Sapporo, Japan. It’s not my first visit there (my last visit was about 25 years ago when I was still living in Japan), but it’s …
Photo of the Month (August 2024)
Photographed on 27 August 2024 at Singapore CBD. EXIF: 22mm, f/5.6, 256 secs, ISO 100. Choosing a photo for August’s “Photo of the Month” was a no-brainer. It was a perfect day with “the good sky” and “the calm water” (for clear reflections), two prerequisites for any decent waterfront cityscapes. Ticking either one alone isn’t …
Photo of the Month (July 2024)
Photographed on 29 July 2024 at Punggol Park (Singapore). EXIF: 35mm, f/9, 161 secs, ISO 100. “Photo of the Month” for July comes from Punggol Park, a suburban park in Singapore. I went to the CBD to shoot cityscapes a number of times, but the water was somehow choppy every single time (not ideal for …
Photo of the Month (June 2024)
Photographed on 10 June 2024 at Louis Vuitton Island Store on Bayfront Avenue (Singapore). EXIF: 18mm, f/9, 162 secs, ISO 100. Hi there, I’m bringing back the “Photo of the Month” post! I’m not very confident that I can post every month, though, because it’s not easy to shoot a photo that meets my standards …
